In this episode, Jeremy and Erin tackle the growing tension between efficiency and individualization in special education documentation. As new technology allows for more dropdown menus, AI tools, and preset program options, the challenge is ensuring that IEPs and 504 plans remain truly tailored to each student. They review the legal framework under IDEA, Section 504, and a case out of New York that emphasizes the requirement for individualized plans. They share practical tips covering privacy safeguards and record retention, staff training, and careful integration of emerging technology.
